UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has hit out at interim divisional titleholder, Tom Aspinall once more — ahead of a potential future unification clash — in a rather expletive-filled post aimed post.

Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight titleholder and a current heavyweight gold holder, is expected to return to action at the end of the year in November, taking on the returning former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic in a rescheduled championship bout at Madison Square Garden.

For Aspinall, the Atherton native avenged his sole promotional loss back in July, landing a one-sided first round knockout win over Curtis Blaydes to successfully defend his title for the first time at UFC 304 in Manchester, England.

Jon Jones hits out at Tom Aspinall in harsh rant

And failing so far in his search of a title fight against Jon Jones in place of Ohio native, Miocic, Aspinall was the subject of another expletive-filled rant from the Rochester native — who claimed no one would ever surpass his championship fight success once he lands his hangs up his gloves for good.

“This dude (Tom Aspinall) literally has my large black c*ck in his mouth every week,” Jon Jones posted in the comments section on his official Instagram account. “I’m flattered. I absolutely guarantee he will not win more world championships than me. That’s truly all that matters at the end of the day. There’s been many champions, no one like me. I sleep good at night.”

Sidelined through a pectoral tendon injury since March of last year, former pound-for-pound number one, Jones most recently landed the vacant heavyweight crown with a stunning submission win over former interim gold holder, Ciryl Gane.

Facing the Frenchman in the main event of UFC 285, the returning Jones landed a first round guillotine choke submission win over the MMA Factory stape — snapping a three -year hiatus from action.

Jon Jones remains steadfast in his apparent refusal to share the Octagon with interim gold holder, Tom Aspinall ahead of his all-but-scheduled return at UFC 309, claiming he has no plans to fight “any more randoms” ahead of a rebooked pairing with the returning, Stipe Miocic.

Jones, a former two-time light heavyweight titleholder and a current heavyweight champion, has been out of action since he featured in March of last year, winning the vacant crown in his much-anticipated heavyweight debut.

Laying waste to former interim crown holder, Ciryl Gane with a dominant opening round guillotine choke submission win, Jones is expected to take on the returning ex-champion, Miocic at UFC 309 at the penultimate flagship event of the annum at Madison Square Garden. 

Jon Jones shuts down any more fights with “randoms”

However, amid links to a title unification pairing with Atherton native, Aspinall after his impending matchup against Miocic, Jones vehemently turned down the chance to face him overnight on social media, seemingly happy to call it a career following his comeback at UFC 309.

“I guess there was a video that resurfaced recently of me saying that after Stipe (Miocic), Francis (Ngannou) was the only fight I was interested in,” Jon Jones posted on his official X account. “That video was recorded well over a year ago. That was recorded before I got injured, before there was an intern (sic) champion crowned. I had already voiced that I wasn’t interested in any more randoms.”

“Now magically I’m ducking a fight that’s never been negotiated or discussed at any table that matters,” Jon Jones wrote. “Lol I’m sticking to my plans, Jon Jones jumps for no one. How many belts does one need? How many times do I have to break my own record?”

Interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall has once more accused fellow divisional titleholder, Jon Jones was skirting a unification fight with him in the future – predicting he will force him into a retirement without ever having to share the Octagon with him.

Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight gold holder, most recently co-headlined UFC 304 at the end of July, landing a blistering opening round knockout win over stalwart contender, Curtis Blaydes – to avenge his sole defeat in the promotion. 

As for Jones, the Rochester native is all but signed to return at UFC 309 in November, headlining the organization’s annual Madison Square Garden card in a rescheduled pairing with former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic.

Tom Aspinall vows to retire Jon Jones in bold statement

And amid labored calls for a title unification showdown with former pound-for-pound number one, Jones, Atherton native, Aspinall has claimed he will send the former into retirement, without having to ever lay a glove on him.

“We know he’s (Jon Jones) a bit overweight these days, the guy was sat there, mate, with the Cheeto fingers – the Doritos on his fingers with his iPhone in hand waiting for me to get knocked out so he could start tweeting about it,” Tom Aspinall said during an appearance on Believe You Me. “Let’s be honest, since I won that fight [with Curtis Blaydes], he’s gone completely quiet. Because there’s no way on earth that he’s gonna fight me – I will retire Jon Jones without even fighting him.”

Aspinall’s claims regarding a fight with Jones come hot on the heels of comments from UFC CEO, Dana White, who boldly said that the Atherton native didn’t deserve any fight next – including a matchup with Jones.

“When you say Jon Jones versus Tom Aspinall, does that mean we’re saying Stipe (Miocic) doesn’t deserve the fight?” Dana White said. “I mean, this fight was supposed to happen, Jon’s got injured and Stipe has paid his dues and has been here forever.”

“My job is to make the biggest fights I can possible make,” White explained. “I know everybody wants to see Aspinall but those two are gonna fight and whoever wins, hopefully, Aspinall is next and they’re gonna give Aspinall the opportunities they got when they were in their young careers to get to where they are today.”
